ooer.. I'm a bit of a website dunderhead myself heh heh. But I made one in iWeb, and uploaded it to a non-.mac server ok. The advantage of the .mac account is that (so I'm told!) it's supposed to make the uploading bit totally foolproof. All you have to do is click 'publish to a .mac account' whenever you've finished in iWeb and that's that. It kinda sounds like you've done everything right - except maybe you just can't find the site you've uploaded? Do you know what the address for your website is? (This would have been supplied with your .mac account). Probably something like: http://homepage.mac.com/marmoraman Editing the site is easy.. just make any further changes in iWeb and then, as before, click 'publish to a .mac account' and it will update everything for you.

"access to iWeb"..? I think this might be the source of the confusion. iWeb is an application program which makes it a cinch for anyone to create their own websites. It comes as part of a package called iLife (which also includes iPhoto, iDVD etc). It's often bundled free with new Macs, if not it costs around ?60, I think. Maybe you even get it free if you subscribe to .mac. .mac gives you (amongst other things) some server space to upload your website to once it's been created. Apple have made it so that iWeb and .mac work together very easily. So you've made your website in iWeb, and then once you're happy with it, you (literally) click one button and it uploads your site to your .mac server space, and hey presto - you're on the world wide web. And iWeb really is very, very easy to use - I promise! It even comes with various templates with photos and text boxes so you can use the way it's laid out and just put your own text and photos in. Or you can lay it out how you want to. There's a tutorial included to show you the way. So first step is to see if you have the package iLife (and therefore iWeb) on your computer already..

Do you have iWeb?

There are at least 1500 people who know that Mark is behind this forum. A sizeable percentage of those know what he looks like, and a goodly number have probably been out for a pint with him. So he's hardly the 'Milk Tray' man, is he? 'Lovely'; you got a bit of a slating on here, but it was entirely deserved. Perhaps the lesson is that if you tell less barefaced lies and stop assuming that people have margerine for brains and aren't capable of rational thought, then you might get a more positive response.

Am I right in saying this is a small junction in suburban London and not the Elephant and Castle? Maybe someone has some stats which show it to be a dangerous junction, but I use it pretty regularly and haven't seen any evidence of that. In fact, I'd bet it's statistically more dangerous to go into the shops on Forest Hill Road than it is to cross it. Now it's one of THOSE junctions where the car driver at the front of the queue gets beeped at by the people 12 cars back because nothing seems to be happening in front but nothing's moving. And if you're a pedestrian, it's one of those crossings where the red man stays lit FOREVER even though there are no cars going past. Total overkill.

Buoyed up by confident recommendations on this here forum, Mrs *Bob* and I chanced our arm and ordered a takeaway from 'Lamoon' last night. It came nicely wrapped, which was promising. And the food was darned good. All the dishes actually tasted of something different, instead of that 'Chinese takeaway taste' we all know and love. So it looks like Chinese is back on le menu. Everyone give themselves a pat on the back. Except 'Chopsticks' on account of them serving rubbish food.

It was all worth it for the comedy denial though. Like a child covered in chocolate who claims not to have been anywhere near the biscuit barrel. What a plum.

An amusing article from The Beeb, who - despite being all too keen to point-out that the BB audience is down - would piss their pants at the prospect of having a show of their own, in its 8th year, which runs for three months every day of the week and still averages over 4 million viewers.

I should imagine they want to open in a blaze of glory, windows (sorry - giant plasma screens) packed to the rafters with property - so they need time to get the clients in.

'Monkey' is a cracker. "Born from an egg on a mountain top The punkiest Monkey that ever popped"

Urgh! That MASH cover is just plain wrong. It shouldn't be allowed. Like the Brian May cover of the 'Star Fleet' theme. why? WHY?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjijteu0gcQ

Click on the link, Al. I just got GOOSE BUMPS listening to it. That's how good it is.

I'd have to make a special mention - the 'credits music' for 'Star Fleet' Glorious. Simply glorious.

Interestingly (..zzz) the original 'Grange Hill' theme wasn't specifically written for the show. It was a bit of off-the-peg 'library music' and was also used as the theme music for the first incarnation of 'Give Us A Clue' Don't say I never tell you anything useful.

Sorry everyone. It's 'Grange Hill'. And that's all there is to it.

There has been a definite dilution of TV budgets in the last 30 years, which is easily explainable. There are now more channels and most of them are on 24/7. But with only (roughly) the same amount of people watching them, the source of income is still the same. I write a lot of TV themes, and people often drone on about the old classics of the seventies and eighties blah blah and how it's all electronic rubbish these days. They tend to forget that in the seventies it wasn't unusual to record TV themes with a full orchestra packed with top-notch players. These days you're lucky if someone coughs-up for the odd trumpet from time to time. What do you they expect? You pay peanuts, you get monk.. er.. I mean.. you get me.

If you go to the rear of the Tiv', and pull three times of the arm of the machine on the far left-hand side, it opens-up a secret passageway.

When I lived in Sheffield, there was always some 'London Escapee' who had sold-up, moved north, bought the biggest house on the street and couldn't stop banging-on about how cheap everything was. A great way to make new friends.

If it's not New Zealand it's Brighton, where you get woken-up at the crack of dawn by seagulls, run-over by someone on a skateboard wearing baggy trousers on your way out and every other person looks like they were in 'Busted'.

As it happens, I won't be watching the final.. I've a birthday to attend. My girlfriend and I once faked an Emergency-I've-Been-Called-Away-type-phone-call - at the farewell party of some folks who were going to live in New Zealand - so we could go home and watch the results of 'Pop Idol'. Some things are just too important to miss.
